View allI've been dealing with a fistula in ano for the last four months and my doctor recommended surgery. Is there any way to treat this without going under the knife? I'm 30 and really worried about the procedure are there other options that could work for me?
Some low-grade fistulas heal with Ksharasutra (Ayurvedic) or antibiotics—but surgery is usually curative and best long-term.

I've got this boil near my groin, right over the left thigh, and it's been bothering me for about 56 days now. A couple of days ago, I noticed it turned into this red and soft spot, about 0.3 by 0.3 cm in size, surrounded by a hard area measuring 4 by 2 cm. It really started to hurt a couple of days back, so I consulted a surgeon. He suggested I take cefixime and diclofenac tablets, along with using SU-MAG ointment for dressing. The next day, I applied a good amount of SU-MAG and dressed the boil, and by the end of the day, the pain was gone. But now, the boil has an opening. I'm a bit unsure about what to do next. Should I keep using the SU-MAG dressing even though the boil is open, or should I stop? Or maybe switch to Betadine dressing? Is it better to go back to the surgeon for further drainage? I'd really appreciate any advice you could give!
You should now switch to Betadine dressing to help prevent infection and promote healing of the open wound. Betadine is an antiseptic solution that can be applied to the affected area. Make sure to clean the area gently before applying the Betadine dressing. If you experience any worsening symptoms or signs of infection, it would be advisable to consult the surgeon again for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned because I've got this painful lump between my butt cheeks, on the right side, and its vertically between my anus and genitals. It's pretty painful and it's making it tough to walk or sit comfortably. Any idea what this could be and how I should handle it?
surgery opinion is advised..
